6.1 RESOLUTION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PAM EAST COAST CHAPTER

Council, at its 9th meeting of the term 2018-2019, held on 22 February 2019, agreed to propose to the AGM for the formation of the PAM East Coast Chapter according to PAM Constitution clause 14.0(a):

14.0 CHAPTERS

1. The Council may at their discretion, and upon receipt of a request from a minimum number of Corporate Members to be determined by the Council in relation to prevailing circumstances, resident in any state or regional area of Malaysia, and upon a majority resolution being passed at the Annual General Meeting or Extraordinary General Meeting, create a local Chapter of the Institute subject to the prior approval of the Registrar of Societies.

The built environment in the east coast region has seen a positive growth over the past few years and this has brought about to the increment in the numbers of architects practising in the states of Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang. Furthermore, there are also a good number of graduate architects who are presently pursuing their LAM Part Ill Examination.

On this perception, the members in the above mentioned East Coast states of Malaysia believe that it is now crucial for the establishment of a PAM East Coast Chapter in-line with Clause 14 of the PAM's Constitution. The proposed Chapter will act as a platform to expand the primary objectives of PAM to this region and at the same time act as a collective voice and thus allowing the said members to make a more significant presence in the construction industry in the east coast of the peninsula. It is anticipated that by having this Chapter, the said members are also able to guide and promote more public awareness on the architectural profession and its benefits.

To further facilitate the establishment of the Chapter, the members have set up a pro tem committee that will act as representatives and liaisons with the PAM headquarters. The list of the pro tem committee is as follows:

Chairman	Ar.Hauzi bin Dato Hashim [Terengganu]
Vice Chairman	Ar.Dato Low Wan Cheong [Terengganu]
Honorary Secretary	Ar.Yezreen binti Mohamed Yusof [Terengganu]
Honorary Treasurer	Ar.Muhammad Nandi bin Mohamed Ali [Terengganu]
Committee Members (State Representatives)	Ar.Datin Hjh Kaniza binti Mohd @ Shafie [Pahang] Ar.Tan Wei Han [Pahang]
	Ar.Zahari bin Ahmad [Pahang]
	Ar.Hj Azmi bin Luddin [Kelantan]
	Ar.Mohd Asri bin Mohd Salleh [Kelantan]
	Ar.Wan Muhammad Kamal bin Wan Ali [Kelantan]

The AGM to hereby approve the resolution for the establishment of the PAM East Coast Chapter.
